Sharing broadband connection over network

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have recently upgraded to broadband and would like to set up a router to
share amongst all PCs on the network. If I plug the router directly into a
PC, I can access the internet which suggests that the router is set up to
connect OK. What I would like to do is plug the router into my existing
network hub so all PCs can access it. If I do this, I can access the router
setup from any PC on the network by entering the IP address into Internet
Explorer. If I run the diagnostics in the router, it says it can access the
internet. What do I need to do to tell the network PCs to use the router as
the internet connection? I thought that all that was needed was to set the
default gateway to the IP address of the router, but I have done this and
cannot access the internet. My broadband provider says they cannot help and
advises me to contact the manufacturer of the network hub. Thanks in advance
for any suggestions.
